You've subtly changed the nuance of the debate. Kudos. Your original assertion was that "unlawful use of force" was quite different from "international terrorism." I provided evidence to show that it was a widely held definition, showing that the US was indeed guilty of international terrorism. I've seen nothing to alter that. I've seen nothing to suggest that the definitions were not intended to be specific to individuals, or states for that matter, they were simply abstract definitions of terrorism.
